canon PIXMA MG5220 ink? thank you for all that reply to my post. after reviewing many printers, and ultimately being hooked on this particular model, i am wondering if buying through amazon if it comes with ink out of the box, or nothing at all. I dont mind buying the ink, but am just curious. also does this have lan connectivity and how easy is the android to print function on this and is it effective and work well? thanks again. canon PIXMA MG5220 ink? thank you for all that reply to my post. after reviewing many printers, and ultimately being hooked on this particular model, i am wondering if buying through amazon if it... » Read More canon PIXMA MG5220 ink? thank you for all that reply to my post. after reviewing many printers, and ultimately being hooked on this particular model, i am wondering if buying through amazon if it comes with ink out of the box, or nothing at all.

I am trying to get connection for this printer. It did not come with a USB cord and I don't see how to connect to my computer "wirelessly". Any info on what the "little deal" is, would be much appreciated.....

try megatoners.com. avg price is 2.99 per cartridge. this is compatable ink complete with chip.it's a good outfit. purchased from them several times.

you can get the ink for about $13-14.00... from what i have seen it is not much cheaper than that even if you buy a whole pack of the inks. I know costco has ink refilling service in my area, and am hoping they will make that available but only the 221 inks are, which cost about 8.00 for black and color inks. hope this helps :)

MY GAWD... THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU... i actually just ordered it no more than an hour ago, and got your email, so i was able to cancel and reorder for the deal... and amazing that it just so happened to be the deal of the day the day i wanted to order it (of course i have been doing my research for a couple of weeks now however)... YOU ARE FREAKIN AWESOME... p.s and thank you for the info as well on the ink and lan connection as well, the ink was not so much a deciding factor but the lan was just for versatility. Thanks again for saving me a little bit of dough friend :)
12444
it does come with ink it does have wireless lan connectivity and i hope you seen this in time because its on the deal of the day for 69.99
12445
on another note... the great thing i found about this canon compared to others is that the colors are all seperate cartridges, which saves cost as well, so you only buy what you need :) cant wait to get mine... if you want me to let you know the quality i will let you know.

yes... amazon rocks. i remember buying some cds, but forgot to click on the free shipping tab awhile back, i talked to them online, and they refunded me for the shipping costs even though it was my fault.

I'm wondering the same thing. Canon's website doesn't even have this printer listed and I just bought it!

Here's the post: I purchased the Canon MP530 and have had very good results so far. All the bad reviews about the ink cartridges are by people who gave up on the printer without a simple Google search to fix the problems. You can disable the Print Monitor all together so that the printer will work no matter how low the ink levels are. This is helpful when you refill the ink cartridges yourself, as I have done. Canon would love you buy their tanks every time they go low, but you can refill them yourself; but you must turn off the print monitor because the printer thinks it's tanks are empty even though you've refilled them. Do it this way: 1) go to "maintenance" tab on print properties 2) select "View Printer Status" from the bottom 3) Click "Option" and deselect "Enable Status Monitor" -- That Simple! A minor annoyance that doesn't warrant a one-star rating from other users. I really like this printer!

Has anyone tried the site www.simplyink.com for buying Canon refills? They claim: "Our compatible ink cartridges include reset chips which show the correct ink levels in your Canon printer." At only $6.99-7.99 a cartridge, I'm very tempted to try them. I have an MP830 (which I absolutely love - I even brag about it sometimes) & am currently paying $56.99 for the 4-pk of color & $33.99 for the 2-pk of black. I have to say, we do a lot of printing & the ink lasts much, much longer than my previous Brother & Lexmark print - plus, has far better quality (even on it's "fast" setting).

I am trying to find the ink for my printer to have on hand when the ink that comes with it runs out. So far, I can only find a 4 pack - it uses 7 cartridges. Do you have to purchase the other 3 separately? Thanks

I have another model Canon printer that I just purchased new. I did this on this one. I haven't had it long enough to run out of ink, but if this works it makes Canon the best printer to buy. I may upgrade to a better canon.I had an HP. It was an older HP AIO with no monitors on it. I think HP sent a code to all the old ones to disable everything but the printer as my scanner no longer works no matter what I do. I googled it, and there are tons of people who've posted the same exact problem with odler HP printers.

I would believe Canon is correct. I have the Canon PIXMA MG8120 Printer. This is the gray cartridge that came with the printer. I am not sure why Amazon states this is incompatible. I need new ink cartridges for my printer and this doesn't make sense.

Genuine Brother cartridges are about the same as HP, maybe a few more printed pages. The second reason I went with Brother is their printers aren't as picky about using non genuine cartridges as my last HP, which didn't like genuine HP cartridges. I have bought some generic cartridges and in a few months I'll have a better answer. The printer it's self has been working Great!! Wifi works with all my devices! So far, so good! Update: The OEM cartridges last a long time, but I don't use the printer a whole lot. I finally installed some aftermarket cartridges (much cheaper off Ebay) and they have worked FINE and the printer still indicates ink level in the aftermarket cartridges. Great Printer-thanks Brother!!

I do not own an MG6220, but I do own an MG5220 and the ink work as well for me in my printer as name-brand Canon ink. I noticed in the ad on Amazon in this box: Will This Work with Your Printer? Canon PIXMA MG5220 Wireless Inkjet Photo All-in-One (4502B017) No! This won't work with the Canon PIXMA MG5220 Wireless Inkjet Photo All-in-One (4502B017) That's flat wrong. So I suspect that this ink will work in your MG6220, but I cannot say for sure, since I don't have that printer. I suggest you contact thew seller, by going here:

Tom, I purchased the T520, 36" about a year ago. the Product and Factory # as shown on the tag of my printer is CQ893 - 64001. Mine does not have a "Model" #. The configuration is as shown on the HP website. 1 gig, stand, roll spindle and starter ink cartridges as described. Printer was delivered two days after the order was placed (free shipping). To get a project out quickly I started printing wireless via my network with the intent of cabling later. Wireless worked so well I have not bothered with the cabling. I typically do not praise products, but contrary to some other HP experiances, I have been very pleased with this printer. Speed and quality are both good and the horror stories about ink usage seem to be exagerated a bit. I typically print line drawings (large building construction plans) but have printed a few Google type maps with good results. For take-off drawings lower the print quality for ink savings. My usage averages about 20 sheets a week (size D & E). Seems to be a solid machine. Good luck...Bob

Jack are you saying you found a way to get a PRINTER to work with an Android tablet?? ("I have only used it under an android OS, of which it works fine.") I don't know if you're talking about a printer, or a wired (internet) network. As for the OP's question: I tried to find Android printers and it appears there's no such thing, and of course no drivers for that OS. I don't see how it could work with a printer because there is no (so-to-speak) 'print command' in Android. If you hook a printer up to it, the tablet wouldn't know what to do with it (hence what drivers are for).But I use this device to connect my tablet to my wired network (when I don't need WiFi) and it works perfect.-Clint Jack are you saying you found a way to get a PRINTER to work with an Android tablet??

Carl! I just did it... took out the color cartridge and it printed a B/W image....hey thank YOU it is good to know just for general purposes. BTW it is darn good little printer and if you can find it on sale as I did (40 bucks) also there is a vendor here that sells both cartridges for under 20 bucks including shipping...they wanted 48 bucks at Staples for the dang cartridges themselves for cryin' out loud........:>}

What type of Cannon printer do you have? I have a Cannon Pixma and can only use the Cannon CL241 for color and the black ink is: PG 240. I have found through my own experience that I cannot use other cartridges and unfortunately most stores do not carry those. I have to order them online and find the best price through Amazon. They are generally pretty good about shipping out quickly and these cartridges are not like HP where you get down 3/4 of the way and will no longer work. These cartridges from Cannon that I use will literally use every last drop and show as if they are completely empty... yet keep on printing. What type of Cannon printer do you have?

I have not used it , yet. Because still I have ink in the printer.In addition, My printer is :Canon MP530 !

that is a very good question. I have an mp470. which uses only canon non-refurbished ink and just a few weeks ago, someone mistakenly gave me the 41 instead of the 31. my printer worked just fine (as far as canon ink seems to go, which is revolting in my opinion). but that's the gist of it.

Hi Linda- The 495 is definitely a low-end printer, so depending on how many years you've had it, and how heavily you used it, it may have just reached it's life expectancy. Mine is still operational after three years, but for the last year it's really gotten heavy use. The ink is starting to leak and smear and the WiFi connection keeps kicking in and out. But, I just bought a replacement - an MX720 series which seems good so far. I've also had excellent service from my other Canon printer - an MX870. I like these better because of automatic two-sided copying. In general, Canon PIXMA printers have served me well, and as always you get what you pay for. Maybe time for you to upgrade.
